Has anyone got this to connect and scan directly to excel sheets? I have it connected, all I see are the batch scanned codes stored on the device, I scanned the HID bar code in the manual to act like a keyboard, but it wont scan directly to word, notepad or excel once its connected via bluetooth.

I don't really remember how I did it, but I am using it by scanning directly to our program. I think there should be the small manual book that you can scan some UPC to control how you use this handheld either scanning directly or storing inside itself. Try and let me know.

Yes, I use this scanning inventory bar codes. It's been a while since I've done this but I canned the HID bar code as well and the device is listed as a keyboard on my computer. I scan mostly into MS Access, but I've scanned into Excel, Word, Notepad ect. It sounds like you're on the right path. I would scan the factory reset code and go through the setup again, but it is possible.

Yes. It is recognized as a standard HID device. The key is your software. Test using Excel. Click on any cell and swipe , you can see the string and it'll enter a CR if a valid read.

I wasn't sure either. Just read others' comments. Opened the package and gave it a try. It works!There was a dialog that appeared saying that it was trying to detect the kind of keyboard. I was already using the device in Openoffice before I looked at the dialog. The device worked as the others said, so I simply closed the dialog.

I haven't tried it with Excel. However, in my experience, if any field is focused, the bar code reader acts as if you entered the data from a keyboard. I don't see why a spreadsheet would be any different.

No and Yes!!! Automatically out of the box...no. It can read them and edit very little straight out of the box. HOWEVER, a free program from the Mobil Market called Kingsoft Office is fantastic. It opens Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and it will also create those. Now, the formatting is not as extensive as full blown office...but it is great otherwise. I had about 20 minutes before church got started last night and I had an idea of a subject I wanted to teach on in the up coming weeks...I pulled out my tablet and started a new Word document and started typing an outline. I do suggest purchasing the "SANOXY Keyboard Case with Stylus Pen for 10inch Superpad/Flytouch Android Tablet PC" from Amazon...it is WELL worth the money. It gives you the ability to plug in an actual keyboard to use when you want to work primarily in Word and Excel!!

I'm not in front of it, but I connected it recently and I believe there is a button on the top right of the keyboard that you press to put it in discovery mode, then go to your bluetooth settings and go through the process of discovering it and it should pick it right up. You'll need to enter a keycode that appears on your screen into the keyboard, then it should work.Of note, I had connected it previously, and it wouldn't pick it up when I tried to connect it. When I scanned for devices in windows 8, nothing would appear. I first had to remove the device from windows 8 (it was showing up in the list) and only then would it pick it up.

Hi Alfredo,It does connect to a computer via a USB port (Mini-B plug on the scanner), but it switches to SD card reader mode so that the SD card appears as a USB flash drive. There doesn't appear to be an option to scan directly into software running on a computer. The scanner has no problems scanning checks and is especially good at scanning long receipts that don't fit on a regular flatbed scanner.

What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct? I have te exact same keyboard and mouse and they work perfectly on Windows 8.1 Pro. plus I also have a Bluetooth wireless 3.0 device and a Bluetooth wifi 3.0 device all next to the blue tooth for keyboard an mouse , it might just be user error all items I have personally bought from amazon work great, plus you might have bought the item from a lower manufacturer on the selection list on Amazon... and just FYI the issue for ghosting is because of the device is too far away from his receiver for it to connect perfectly to the computer, move the device closer and it will function perfectly What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct?

We saw the same symptoms when we first attempted to use our scanner. The iMacs we plugged into were identical model with OSX 10.7.x. It worked on one iMac and not the other. Once it worked on one system, I did not continue trouble shooting to determine if the issue was with the OS or the version of Excel we were using. I would recommend trying on another system, if possible, to hopefully give you a place to start trouble shooting the system you want to use the scanner on.

The device is programmed. If you want to change the scan settings the barcode "Reset configuration". For regular input to your application scan the barcode: Out Mode - Keyboard Wedge. That enter the scan barcode information to Excel, Word, etc.

If you connect the keyboard by Bluetooth everything should be active. Charge it then try to connect to it by Bluetooth, if that still does not work then you have a defective unit. It happens.

You have to connect the keyboard to your computer using a code; once connected it will remain connected to that device without having to reprogram it. I have had my keyboard lose it's connection once in two years where I have had to re-pair it, but that is all. Whether it can be paired to more than one device at a time I don't know.

I am glade that it works on Mac now. I am thinking about buying one for my small office all-mac environment.You mentioned that the scanner only works with usb. Have you tried network to scan?Another thing I keep wondering, in general, that all the all-in-one should have an option to receive fax as a digital document instead of printing it out. If you find it, please do let me know.

--I contacted Velocity Micro asking if an external USB keyboard would work and I got the following answer: No the device is not plug and play compatible so a USB keyboard will not work with the reader. -Andrew Cruz Support Technician --(follow-up query)Is there any chance an app can be written to enable an external USB keyboard to work or is the USB port on the Cruz Reader strictly for file transfers? Thanks. The usb is strictly for data transfer, it could be possible to write an app that goes around this however we do not have a development team here so it would be up to a third party developer. -Andrew Cruz Support Technician --apparently the USB is not a full host controller.

This will scan anything with a barcode though you will need to plug it into a power source (a laptop works fine) It will import to excel (though there is a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to do it)

You do have to turn the Wand on, but the moment you do, the USB treats is the same as an attached drive and you can access all the photo scans without removing the card.If you have any other questions, just ask. I think this is probably the best one on the market right now, and I have been using the software that came with it for a lot more than just the scanner. It comes with OCR software that works quite well, but it also comes with screen capture software that will save a chosen area of your screen to Word, Excel, a picture file, or the clipboard in quite a few formats. I have been using that a lot for things completely unrelated to the scanner.

I have a MacBook and I've found that in order for it to scan, you have to open the Printer/Scanner on the computer, click on the tab for the Scanner function, and then select "Scan." It's also from here that you can change all of the settings, such as resolution, color, scan size, etc. I've never been able to select the "Scan" function from the unit itself for it to scan directly to one of our computers, but I also haven't researched it at all after I discovered how to do it from the computer itself. Hope that helps.
